	As the other Ascenticons gawp at the sight of the two fighting, [[Elita One (G1)\|Elita-1]] disentangles the pair, and instructs Bumblebee to follow her at once. As the two head down a nearby corridor, Elita warns the yellow 'bot not to push his luck—as ill-mannered as Skytread is, she points out that Bumblebee stood no chance against [[Sixshot (G1)\|Sixshot]] during his recent assault on the Ascenticon building. Bumblebee retorts that he ''saw'' [[Soundwave (G1)\|Soundwave]] sending Barricade right where Sixshot attacked, and points out the suspiciously fortuitous circumstances that surround the terrorist attack. Does Elita-1, Bumblebee accuses, even ''know'' what's going on in the Ascenticon Guard she professes to run?

	Not far away, in [[Iacon (polity)\|Iacon]]'s medical center, [[Ratchet (G1)\|Ratchet]] touches base with [[Chromia (G1)\|Chromia]], happy to report that [[Windblade (G1)\|Windblade]] will soon be up and about. Chromia inquires about the list of names that Windblade recovered in the [[Memorial Crater]], and if any one of them could be responsible for [[Rubble]]'s murder. The problem is, Ratchet explains, that there are ''too many'' suspects on the list in order to properly narrow it down into something workable: the Rise is full of heavy-hitting brutes, any one of them capable of easily offlining a little 'bot like Rubble. [[Brainstorm (G1)\|Brainstorm]]'s death, however, remains a mystery: Ratchet points out that his injuries don't seem to have been inflicted by a weapon: if anything, the wounds are closer to machinery. Rumors are continuing to fly as the situation continues to deteriorate, and Chromia muses on how the recently-returned [[Sentinel Prime (G1)\|Sentinel Prime]] has been handling things...

	Sentinel, as it turns out, has ''not'' been having a good few days, continually besieged by reports of one crisis after the next as tensions continue to flare across [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]]; [[Crosshairs (G1)\|Crosshairs]] reports that members of The Rise have seemingly obtained weapons from Cybertron's armories; another 'bot informs the Prime of civil unrest in [[Tarn (polity)\|Tarn]], where Cybertronians have been demanding more energon; [[Prowl (G1)\|Prowl]] keeps Sentinel updated on [[Reversionist]] protests outside the [[Tether]]... but it's [[Soundwave (G1)\|Soundwave]]'s suggestion for immediate elections that finally pushes Sentinel over the edge.

	Sentinel's hamfisted attempts to rein in The Rise results in an increased police presence all across Cybertron, a show of force designed to intimidate Risers. Security teams, made up of hastily recruited rookies and veterans alike, arrest 'bots left, right, and center, illegal establishments are raided for any information regarding The Rise and its whereabouts, and patrols are even dispatched into the remote badlands in the hopes of tracking down any errant Riser bunkers. One such patrol consists of [[Sideswipe (G1)\|Sideswipe]] and [[Springer (G1)\|Springer]], sweeping the regions beyond [[Crystal City]]. Their monotonous patrol is interrupted when a police transmission warns them that someone's set off an alarm at an [[energon processing station]], and the pair head off to investigate, even though the always-impetuous Sideswipe grumbles at Springer using his helicopter form to race to the crime scene ahead of him.

	That "someone", it turns out, consists of a group of Risers led by [[Ruckus (G1)\|Ruckus]], on a mission to siphon valuable [[energon]] from the facility. [[Kaskade]] worries about what happened to the ''last'' group of 'bots who tried this stunt, noting that they had to kill the scientist who ran the station... though Ruckus quickly shoots down their concerns and barks at them to get the job done. By the time [[Wirespike]] has finished attaching the device, however, the trio finds Springer blocking their way. Ignoring Ruckus's shouts for backup, the Triple Changer warns them to come quietly, but he's thrown off-balance when a massive, [[Lowload\|heavily-armored drillbot]] bursts through the ground beneath his feet! Hurled into the energon grid, overexposure nearly shorts out Springer, and by the time Sideswipe finds him and brings him round, the four Risers have already made a run for it.

	Back at Ascenticon headquarters, Elita-1 has made an unwelcome discovery: Bumblebee hasn't been listening to her, and has been snooping through some of Soundwave's encrypted files. Ignoring Elita's repeated protests to keep his head down and be her reliable second-in-command, Bumblebee tries to convince her to use her security clearance to open the files: ''something'' is up with Soundwave and Barricade, Bumblebee insists, and that something might just be the tip of this new conspiracy. Elita grimaces at the prospect, but—just this once—decides to humor Bumblebee.
